Nothing
is always there. When there’s conscious and none. Through the
expansions and contractions. Nothing supersedes reality. Nothing is
above emptiness. Nothing flows through everything. Nothing is in
everything. Nothing is in the background. Right now Nothing is being
filled. At the edge of the Universe it is watching the passing through. Nothing is abundant. Nothing in the sense that we are familiar with, but not negative. Nothing cradles us.There between blinks, the short burst of darkness, of Nothing.You are nothing - You are everything. Nothing is Everything.Nothing is Power.Nothing is above limitations. ALL HAIL NOTHING.

First in my family :) I am beyond excited! When I received the good news I teared up a little. It's a huge deal and I am very proud that slowly but surely I got here. I cannot wait to get the diploma and frame it. I walk in May - I cannot wait to get my cap and gown.

"It’s been months since I’ve visited this space. I’ve attempted to start a
post ultimately abandoning it in favor of short bursts of thought on
Twitter or opting to just keep whatever it was I wanted to say to
myself. I’ve always prided myself on my ability to be open and
expressive but had also figured out a pretty adept method of feigning
transparency. I would give up enough to appear as though I was sharing
(and I was) but I was also keeping enough to myself to remain properly
hidden. The last few months (maybe a year) has been no different. I’ve
been thinking about coming back to this space but I didn’t know what I
could say here without spilling everything. I have a tendency to talk
too much and over share and then spend time worrying about who will read
what and use it against me or who will read what and judge the
punctuation or who will read what and read more to it than it is. The
last few days, especially, I’ve had an urge to visit this place and talk
as openly as I could without “hiding behind metaphors or similes”. I’ve
put it off again in favor of short bursts of thought on Twitter and
opting to just keep whatever it was I wanted to say to myself."-Bassey

An unnamed farmer is working in his banana plantation as usual, clearing space with his machete. Satisfied with his progress, he decides to rest before finishing. As he usually does, he plans to cross a barbed wire fence and stretch out on the nearby grass. This time, however, things go terribly wrong. He accidentally trips and falls, landing on the ground. He is in the position he intended but notices that his machete is in a strange position: half of it protrudes from his shirt under his waist. Trying to look around, he realizes that the other half of the machete has pierced his abdomen.

Incredibly but inexorably, he calmly assesses the situation and concludes that his life has come to an end. He sees that is so badly wounded that he is now dying; to all intents and purposes he is really already a dead man, as there can be no remedy. He thinks about his life, as he drifts in and out of consciousness. Nevertheless, it is hard for him to accept such a sudden and senseless end. He knows that death is inevitable, but he thought that he would have a normal lifespan, that he would have time to prepare for death. He has expected a full life, with its share of hopes, dreams and problems. Instead, he is suddenly dying – simply because of an accident, a moment of petty carelessness. He realizes that nothing about him has changed, that his surroundings have not reacted to what for him is a cataclysmic event. He resists the horrible thought. Nothing has changed – his own banana plantation is the same. He knows it well, after working on it for so many years.

"I've never felt this way about any girl. You're simply breathtaking. I want to share every experience with you. I feel bad if I think a bad thought about you or a thought I think might deceive you, and I want to sacrifice to make you feel better. how could any halfway-decent person ever hurt you. the people that hurt you are assholes that like being in control and taking advantage of your kindness. I love you and I'm rambling. My girlfriend is amazing"

I'm fine my car is not. It leaked a lot of liquids!!! It was a good day I was on the way to the gym then school but it turned crappy :(

The good thing is that I called Progressive by the time I was done with my convo the rep had a tow truck en route and a rental waiting at the Enterprise near my house. It was so relaxing to know that shit was taken care of and I wouldn't miss work or had to make more phone calls.

Olive is adorable and weighing in at 5 pounds (packing it on for winter)

She saw me eat an apple and started barking at me!!! Not like a little bark but full on barking, growling and snapping at me for my apple. I gave her a piece and she didn't even eat it! She's a spiteful adorable bitch.

I love her to death.

She's a pillow monster and now an apple monster!

Green Apples are the shit - can't blame her:

This is what her brother Gizmo did while she did that:

He isn't even phased!!! He knows her ass so well already. Lets her bark it out.
